In 2009, a group of people organised themselves in Morley to strengthen the legacy and heritage of rhubarb growing in the area.

Do you have a memory of the rhubarb trade in Morley? We would love to hear from you, so that we can add to the archive. You can add your memory on the Contribute page, or please call (0113) 393 9775 or e-mail educationandoutreach@wyjs.org.uk.

Morley rhubarb farms played a large part of West Yorkshire's war effort with campaigns such as 'Dig For Victory' and 'Lend A Hand On The Land'. Raymond Cowling recalls his own experiences during that time.
